Learning to swim








Jamie is now old enough to begin swim lessons at UMBC here in Catonsville. He is very excited about the lessons, but doesn't fully trust his teacher, Juan. It doesn't help that they are in a competition pool, so the water is over his head. Juan has taught him a very valuable skill - if you get water in your face, just spit. It remains to be seen if he'll actually learn any swimming skills, but at least he's getting more comfortable in the water. He has made a few new friends, and it's fun to watch them play while they sit at the edge of the pool. Jamie might not like to learn to swim, but he loves his swim lessons - he cries when we have to leave. Oh, and yes, we are still warm enough to have the lessons outdoors!

He looks quite peaceful in the water. Those are some nice shots, Laura.
